Moreover, students of UIM along with Swami Jan Sewa Samiti members distributed the old clothes to the needy people and actually put into practice the Bible teaching “God has a special concern and care for those in need and if we really love God then we should be helping, serving and giving to the poor”. Donation of clothes was emphasized upon in order to help people who cannot afford adequate clothes, help disaster victims, conserve natural resources by reusing them and finally help the under-privileged members of our society.
The Head of Shri Nityanand Swami Jan Sewa Samiti, Mr. Vinayak Sharma along with his team members interacted with faculty members and students emphasizing upon the significance of the Donation Drive. He also informed them about the Cloth Bank created by the Samiti for continuous collection and distribution of clothes to the needy throughout the year. Students enthusiastically supported and showed eagerness to contribute as volunteers for future Donation Drives.
Through this activity the students were taught to save the environment through the adoption of 3R’s formula i.e. Recycle, Reuse and Reduce.
